The Sex Education of M.E.

When a widowed professor decides dating is back in the books, her new neighbor - a silver fox fireman - volunteers to school her in rekindling a flame between the sheets.

I’m forty, flabby, and frustrated.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a good home, a decent job, and great children. I had a loving marriage for twenty years where we had our ups and downs. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t awful.

Then he died.

After the grief took its course, and the reality of my new life settled in, I grew frustrated. It wasn’t the bills or the struggle to keep my interest in my career. It was life without a man - the only man I’d been with for two decades. And before you go all feminist on me, it wasn’t that I couldn’t be an independent woman.

There were just certain areas where a man was necessary.

You need a f*ck buddy, my friend said.

I didn’t even know what that meant.

Is it friends with benefits? I asked.

Better, you don’t even have to be friends.

Boy, did I need an education in the modern workings of dating . . . and sex.

From L.B. Dunbar is her original sexy silver fox standalone about second chances after loss and falling in love over 40.

L.B. Dunbar loves the sweeter things in life: cookies, Coca-Cola, and romance. Her reading journey began with a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, Regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused-yes, that’s the correct word-of having an overactive imagination, to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she’s created sweet, small town worlds; rock star mayhem; MMA chaos; sexy rom-coms for the over 40; and suspense on an island of redemption. In addition, she is earning a title as the ＂myth and legend lady＂ for her modernizations of mythology as elda lore. Her other duties in life include mother to four children and wife to the one and only.
